Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The subsystem of claim 1, wherein the blower defines a top of the subsystem and a bottom of the subsystem.
3. The subsystem of claim 1, wherein the subsystem has a first width, the printed circuit board defines an edge of the subsystem and has a second width that is less than the first width, and the blower occupies a remaining width of the subsystem next to the printed circuit board and occupies the first height of the subsystem.
4. The subsystem of claim 1, wherein the blower includes an axis of rotation that is disposed substantially perpendicular to the printed circuit board.
5. The subsystem of claim 1, wherein the blower includes an axis of rotation, and at least a portion of the axis of rotation is disposed substantially parallel to the first edge.
7. The subsystem of claim 6, wherein the first inlet is disposed on a first side of the subsystem, and the second inlet is disposed on a second side of the subsystem.
8. The subsystem of claim 6, wherein the first inlet and the second inlet are disposed on opposing sides of the subsystem.
9. The subsystem of claim 6, wherein the first airflow path is redirected across a first side of the printed circuit board, and the second airflow path is redirected across the first side of the printed circuit board.
10. The subsystem of claim 6, wherein the first airflow path and the second airflow path are redirected, at least in part, in opposite directions and subsequently across the top surface of the printed circuit board.
11. The subsystem of claim 6, wherein at least a portion of the blower abuts the heat sink that is thermally coupled to the printed circuit board, and the first airflow path and the second airflow path are redirected across the top surface of the printed circuit board and through the heat sink.
13. The computing device of claim 12, wherein the first airflow path traverses from the first inlet to an outlet via the heat sink.
14. The computing device of claim 12, wherein the processor comprises a graphics processing unit or a central processing unit that generates heat when performing processing operations, and the blower dissipates at least a portion of the heat via the first airflow path.
15. The computing device of claim 12, wherein the blower causes the first airflow path to traverse through the heat sink to an environment external to the computer chassis.
16. The computing device of claim 12, wherein the blower causes the second airflow path to traverse through the heat sink to an environment external to the computer chassis.
